Title: 10.4 percent
Post by: kso_FAN on March 12, 2013, 12:19:38 PM
kp's Big 12 log5 is out.

Quote
As is customary in this event, Kansas is a convincing favorite. The Jayhawks have won five tournaments during the previous eight years of sharing or outright winning the regular-season Big 12 title. The two through six seeds are good enough to give the Jayhawks some competition, so Kansas’ chances of winning aren’t much better than a coin flip. Because the bottom four teams are quite a bit worse than the rest of the conference, there was a nice bonus for the teams the got the top two-seeds. So even though Kansas State and Iowa State are roughly equal in skill, the Wildcats’ chances of winning the title are significantly better.

Kansas gets half of a home-court share in this analysis.

Qtrs Semis Final Champ
 1 Kansas       100  93.5  73.3  54.2
 3 Oklahoma St. 100  63.4  41.9  17.1
2 Kansas St.   100  75.9  33.2  10.4
 5 Iowa St.     100  55.6  15.0   7.1
 6 Baylor       100  36.6  19.6   5.8
 4 Oklahoma     100  44.4  10.3   4.3
 7 Texas       86.7  23.4   5.3   0.8
 8 W. Virginia 81.1   6.1   1.4   0.3
 9 Texas Tech  18.9   0.4   0.02  0.001
10 TCU         13.3   0.7   0.03  0.0009

Actually, I think the truth of the matter is this;  ISU will have the HCA vs ku in the semi's if ISU beats OU as expected.

The 'clown fans have been known to travel in droves to this thing, and I'm of the belief that there's not too many people from K-State that will really be TSC'ing it up in the Sprint Center.  Therefore, ISU will have both KSU and ISU fans backing them plus my belief is that the OSU people will back Iowa State as well...

There is absolutely no doubt that the majority, if not all, KSU fans will be rooting for KU's opponent in each of KU's games.

Nope, KU fans will be cheering against KSU as well.  Wouldn't really expect it either way for both fanbases.  All though it would be pretty sweet to see a KU-KSU championship game.

No, you're wrong.

Has nothing to do with the conference title streak or 'domination'.  Has to do with the preferential treatment by the officials during games and the arrogant attitude of the vast majority of the fan base, most of which couldn't find Lawrence on a map, let alone ever having stepped foot in a classroom there.

Basically, ku is disliked because they're shitty neighbors... not because of your successes.

The problem with this logic is that all the reasons you set forth are due to the successes of the program.  If there was not the level of success there has been, then you would not have the other issues you set forth.

Great.  We agree that ku has a shitty fanbase then, and the rest of the league dislikes your program enough to cheer against them because of it rather than just watching in neutrality as is the case at most tourney games.
